beastmaster next job

[Savagelf]

when come to bst and blue mage i chosen accept the hand i am dealt should i like see them have access to more yet one suggest improvement in direction the devs have layed know they problem not change it. Also one must away look on bright side this is what i chosen to do i want look bst and blu as way to improve more combat linar jobs. i want blu to use scimatars for example for ffxi. but if blu is going be a limit job and if bst and puppetmaster will be aswell hint by Yoshi P then i will accept the hand i dealt and hope by them use beast master and puppetmaster they figure way to improve all jobs through work on the limit jobs. they plenty job for ff i would love see and i also like see job like medic with pet dog which one i suggest to kind meet complimised for though who desire chemist.

yes i did like many of you want bst and blue mage to be part of combat jobs like dragoon and paladin and stuff but if i must accept them as limit jobs the so be it. i say that we must accept the card we be dealt we not going away agree with devs yet we can look on bright side of they actions

through i still think people on forum speak for vocal minotry and not the majority of players who like blue mage as is

Limited jobs is a failed experiment.

Instead of trying to conform to a jobs identity from a game they made decades past, if they do add jobs like that kind of thing, it should be given its own identity and not forced to live up to some magical nostalgic sense of similitude, as we've seen with blue mage, that simply doesnt work.

That being said, i really hope SE takes a step back at the backlash with Viera and Bluemage, and actually try and make their own decissions for once instead of just conforming to popular requests, let them be original.

Love or hate the limited job idea, I think what they did with it was more creative and experimental than a blue mage normal job would have been. Nobody expected (and many didn't want) the limited job idea, so while it may have been a blunder for many, it was at least an interesting thing to experiment with creatively as side content.

Personally would prefer to see it as a full fledged job, but in doing so I feel it would just be something tacked on like "You found an injured <insert monster> at starter level that you fix up, seems it wants to go with you, take this soul stone." While I would like the idea of WoW or FF11 beast class, I can't imagine us getting anything too deep and even then still being limited to certain types that can be tamed.

I don't.

See, you can have BLU as a 'difficult to progress, not always viable, but always fun' hybrid DPS caster, or you can force it into a mini-game that somehow still has less enjoyable gameplay than any existing job. I'm not sure why anyone would want the second, let alone claim that the job itself is more creative in that form than it would have been if its kit had the same care and attention as any job with a decent development budget has gotten.

Throwing abilities at it with zero sense of synergy or playflow intent wasn't a result of the devs not wanting to constrict the job; it was merely a way of parading around a mini-game-based time-sink (albeit one of above-average enjoyability) under the guise of a job. Just look at where the development for the job went. It certainly didn't go into making the gameplay loops (e.g. the pre-combat and in-combat decision-making, build diversity, etc., etc.) of the job itself creative or experimental, only into the side-content into which BLU would be segregated (not that all that came out particularly creative either).

I grant you your wish of a beastmaster job. Limited. Level 30 cap.

[Jandor]

I know people who have leveled BLU and collected all the spells but I don't know anyone who is actually *pleased* by how BLU was implemented.

I know one or two who are reasonably happy with it.

I myself am not really one of them, although I do see some potential in the concept. I doubt that potential will ever be fully realized though.

Gaius von Baelsar used a gunblade, before Gunbreaker was introduced.



Gaia uses a two-handed hammer.

Just sayin'
